Call the Counselor on Call. The Counseling Center offers a counselor on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the academic year for students in crisis. The student must call the Residence Director (RD) on duty at (919) 612-6350 or call Campus Police at (919) 760-8888 in order to reach the Counselor-on-Call. The RD or security officer will call the Counselor-on-Call, who will then call back the student. Please note: there is no counselor on call available during the winter recess or over the summer.
